The answer to both questions is no. The only thing in common between the two planes is the style of yoke.
I also wouldn’t pre-study unless I had valid company materials. All 121 operators teach a slightly company specific version of systems. You’d think it’s all the same, but everyone has their own emphasis, their own acronyms, often even company specific limitations.
Its easier to just learn it right the first time instead of unlearning something. That gets confusing.
